Publisher's Synopsis
In addition to reading e-books, I like this paper format; the printer really does good work. The cover is a beautiful finish, and the pages hold well. The overall result travels easily, and I can make notes on the margin. Description: Would you like to speak English so American listeners can understand you better? In the competitive marketplace, you owe it to yourself to improve your skills. You can make dramatic improvement by focusing on "schwa;" it's the most-often-heard sound in the English language. When you detect schwa in English words, you speak more naturally. Make it your adventure with schwa; find out for yourself. As a first-generation American, I successfully attained complete fluency in English and am acutely sensitive to the needs of adult learners who study English as a second language. You don't have to learn spoken English by trial and error. My own experience led me to develop this methodical approach to minimize harsh feedback from students' experience but also demonstrate the wonder of pronunciation: The more you can speak English clearly the more confident you feel. This self-assurance impacts every part of your life. You too can become a clear speaker. Research reveals adults' ability to become fluent speakers in a second language; forget the myths that might hold you back.
